This book honestly surprised me. I haven't read the previous Twin Estate books, but after this one I don't think I can. Now let me explain. We got a glimpse of the previous couples in this book and I cannot for the life of me imagine them being even close to how amazing Tori and Landon were. These two were explosive, as they say so themselves. Literally a match against gasoline. They fought hard and loved harder. Their story wasn't sweet and sexy and the same time. I devoured every word...and the steam level...whew. I'm sorry Stylo, but as much as I LOVE your writing, I made a mistake reading this one first. As beautiful as the other stories might be, Tori and Landon top them all!

I've read all of the books in the Twin Estates series and i have to say that this one was my favorite. It had everything that i've come to love about this author: it was engaging. Suspenseful. Sexy. Erotic. And it had a redeeming quality in these characters that i couldn't look away. I mean, i was visiting my family and i spent an entire day reading this book and kinda locked myself in my own bubble and hoped for the best (not that anyone was complaining because by now, they're more than a little used to my book obsession).

In a way, i had hoped that these two would get their own books because there's something about these two that made me like them, even with all their faults. Landon, well, there's no denying that he's always been kind of a douche canoe and he's hurt a lot of people, but i knew there had to be something behind it all. As for Toni... she may look all innocent and stuff, but this book saw her grow into someone else. How many times do we just sit there and listen to our friends talk and figure out their own problems, but tend to forget that we need to work on ourselves. This was it. This was the book of discoveries and realizing that you can 't always depend on others to make you a better person. That you need to want it for yourself.

I loved this book. By far the one that made me go back to the series that made me instafan on this author from the beginning (her Kane series), and brought on the humor that i found in her Just A Little Junk novel. There's just so much that i loved about this book, but the bottom line is: it made me want to go back and read this author's back list just so i could revisit the characters that i fell in love at the beginning of my journey with her.

5.5 Amazing Stars!This is the best book in the Twin Estates series and I’ll challenge anyone who thinks differently to a thumb war! I really wanted to write that in shouty caps but I’ve decided to be mature and restrained; even though I’m screaming this at the top of my lungs.

This book is darker and edgier than the previous three books and for those of us that love some angst with our romance there’s plenty of it. As with previous books by Ms Fantome, it’s written with her particular brand of humor that her fans have come to expect. The writing is amazing and so incredibly fast paced; I felt I had just started it five minutes ago and then it ended! I don’t know what I loved most, the beginning or the end, plus there’s everything in between.

“I was lost, and you found me, so I guess that makes us even.”

We got a glimpse of Dr. Landon Edenhoff in Block Party. Liam described his relationship with his twin brother but I feel we weren’t properly warned about how bad this boy really is. Landon’s list of nasty habits include smoking anything legal and illegal, dr*gs (also legal and illegal), drinking too much, dirty talk and even dirtier s*x; he did it all and was unapologetic about it. After hooking up with Tori he gets a brilliant idea to invite her along on a trip he needs to take.

“Don’t go looking for rainbows where there aren’t any.”“You don’t look for rainbows, they just…appear.”“Does that make you my rainbow?”“Maybe it makes you mine.”“I just wanted a vacation, and some excitement.”“And?”“And, I think I got more than I bargained for.”

Poor Tori Bellows, she’s still not over Liam putting her in the friend zone, and she’s wondering when it’ll be her turn to find someone. After quitting her job and hooking up with Landon, a mistake she thought she’d regret, Tori decides to take him up on his offer; fly halfway across the world for a week on a beach with the promise of lots and lots of sex. She’d never imagined he had something else in mind, besides sex. Tori knows this isn’t a smart idea flying off with Landon without telling anyone where or who she’s with.

After spending so much time together they start to reveal secrets, things no one else knows about the other, that they’ve kept locked up. Landon realizes Tori’s always on, with a smile for everyone, even when she’s hurting inside. And Tori discovers the bad boy might just be a hurt boy, a persona he’s adopted, to hide the real Landon.

“She wanted Landon to always be himself, in all his *effed up glory, because he was amazing. A force to be reckoned with, like a hurricane or a tornado.Or an explosion…”

When they finally begin to trust each other, after a frightening and horrible incident that occurs one night, that hard earned trust is destroyed and maybe permanently obliterated.

I loved this story.I had already read Liam's story and I was very curious about Landon, this brother doctor that the whole family loved, but who has addiction problems and I knew that I would love it, but let me tell you that it completely exceeded my expectations. I think it's my favorite of the whole series, the writing is fantastic, with a stable rhythm and a plot that had me hooked from the first page. It made me laugh, cry, sigh, it was heartbreaking.The story presents Landon and Tori, Landon the sexy, not very communicative, smart and idiotic brother of Liam, and Tori, Liam's best friend, but also who is in love with him.I admit that at the beginning it was very hard for me to like Landon, he is an idiot of epic proportions who gave the appearance that he only thought of him. An egocentric who behaves too badly with Tori, and honestly apart from obvious skills in bed, I did not see him anything salvageable, but as the plot progresses we see glimpses of the sweet and vulnerable man Landon is. Little by little we are seeing his facade fall, and I ended up completely in love with him

I loved Tori, she is a great protagonist, sexy, funny, sincere and too loyal and given to her friends, always there for those who needed her. My heart broke for her on more than one occasion. A brave girl who despite her problems keeps going on.The couple is perfect, I loved how they were complemented in every way, the sex scenes are hot, and the chemistry was noticed from the first page. The drama between the couple and the talks are great, I just loved them.

With a plot that hooks you, good writing, a stable rhythm, drama and anguish, the author gives us a beautiful story, with unique characters, damaged and a different plot.Super recommended for those who like drama like me.

“Neighborhood Watch” is the final book, in Styol Fantôme’s “Twin Estates” series and quite frankly my favorite. This reads more like a romantic suspense with a bad, bad boy who needs to come to terms with his bad boy ways before every good thing in life passes by him. Our heroine, Tori, running from a broken heart over her infatuation with his twin brother, Liam collides with this bad boy.

We meet Landon at his worst when Tori in a drunken stupor decides to seduce Liam in one last act of desperation. She is…in actuality…seducing Landon, but he doesn’t mention that fact and goes along with the free meal (so-to-speak) placed before him. Tori realizes all too soon that it is indeed Landon who is the object of her attentions. It’s mysterious but then again…perhaps fated… that she continues with the hot and dirty sex until the end. She doesn’t even like him. This entire scene was an epic anger bang (20 or so kindle pages)!!! A rousing start to an interesting tale.

Landon is the brilliant medical doctor who volunteers his time to international charity organizations such as Doctor without Borders. He is also the long-term drug addict that lost his job practicing medicine because of said drug habit. He is a completely shallow man whore when it comes to women. He is bored with his current circumstances and looking for a distraction… “an explosion” in his life. He sets about planning to engage in some truly nefarious activities centered around his drug habit and his volunteer medical work in Thailand just for pure excitement. Because of an impulse, he invited Tori to go to Bali for a week where his adventure would begin.

Tori even dyed her blonde trying to shake up her life. The out-of-the-blue invitation from Landon to go to Bali seemed like just the thing to jump start her in her quest. She is beautiful and capable. She may not be as brilliant as Landon but she is a no nonsense organizer and natural leader. Feeling discarded and put on the shelf time and time again, she is looking to reclaim her self-worth, value and even her purpose in life.

The story takes us from the beautiful shores of Bali to the frontlines of disease and poverty in the third world. Landon finds his irritation growing at the attention Tori seems to attract from other men. He begins to realize just how special and unique Tori is and that his attraction for her has him thinking about changing his ways. She really proves her mettle when she conquers her natural revulsion and fear in the camp treating the village with an outbreak of cholera by making herself useful to Landon as he administers to the sick and dying. She sets about organizing the staff and supplies and finding a routine which proves invaluable to the mission.

Landon and Tori eventually find themselves in love but bad decisions on the part of the drug addict in Landon and this nefarious world come to haunt him and rip Tori right from his grasp. He pays a terrible price physically for these bad decisions.At his most helpless, he reevaluates everything in his life. He returns to the US and eventually sees Tori to tell her that once and for all, he is committing to intensive rehab. Still there is no happy ending because wisely Tori does not want to be the “prize” for Landon’s long road back to himself.

Can these two come together? Is their love strong enough to forge a bond that includes wholeness of person along with the wildness of their shared passion? Did Landon realize far too late that the “explosion” in his life that he was looking for was right there waiting for him in the “Twin Estates”.

I didn't deserve you, but I'm thankful everyday for you. I couldn't do any of this without you, I wouldn't even want to. But knowing you exist somewhere out there, that you're walking around and breathing and smiling, it makes every moment in here worth it. Thank you for making me a better man. Landon
